No wing runner?
Ahh yes, the pleasures of a sports canopy (open cockpit, to those not
familiar with the breed) 1-26 on a warm summer afternoon, coring a corn husk - marked thermal, chilling out at cloud base - then barely making it back to the field after drifting downwind.... Drag, I spit in your face! Kirk 66

One day by myself at the Hobbs Standard Class Nats last month I located two thermals by sight--a refinery burning off gas in a large flame and, later, a dust devil. I used my olfactory sense to help core them both...in my ASW 24 (albeit with the nose vent wide open!). The refinery thermal smell was more powerful but the dust devil- spawned thermal had a distinct "agricultural" odor, too. They were both narrow and fairly strong and I needed all the help I could get staying centered. I flew in and out of the refinery thermal several times before I finally got it cored.

Drag, I spit in your face! Kirk 66 thats the problem with trying to get back to the airport Kirk. I had one exciting flight like that. Was out thermalling matt michael in his lark and eventually noticed i was about 4 miles downwind at 4 or 5000 feet. yikes! turn into the wind and it was like the world just stopped moving. made it back though.
